abstract = {Mined rock phosphate is expected to become a scarce
resource within the next few decades as global phosphorus
(P) deposits are declining. As a result, mineral P
fertilizer will be less available and more expensive.
Therefore, improved knowledge is needed on other P
resources, for example, apatite fertilizers derived from the
by-products of iron mining. Forestry is a potential future
consumer of apatite-rich products with the aim of obtaining
more wood per hectare. The actual P availability in apatite
to plants has so far been barely quantified. We therefore
examined tree P uptake using 33P apatite under chamber-grown
and outdoor conditions. We examined the P uptake for the two
main conifer species spruce (Picea abies) and pine (Pinus
sylvestris) used in Fenno-Scandinavian forestry. We
synthesized 33P-enriched apatite and applied it to mesocosms
with growing seedlings of spruce and pine. The P uptake from
33P-labelled hydroxylapatite was subsequently traced by
(bio)imaging of radioactivity in the plants and by liquid
scintillation counting (LSC) upon destructive harvest in all
plant fractions (leaves, stem and roots) and rhizosphere
soil. Two climatic conditions were compared, one at natural
outdoor conditions and one set as 5°C warmer than the
climate record from the previous years. Plant P uptake from
33P-labelled hydroxylapatite was enhanced in chamber-grown
compared with outdoor seedlings for both tree species. This
uptake was manifested in the clear radioactive images
obtained over ca. 1 month after soil apatite application.
Furthermore, all aboveground plant fractions of both spruce
and pine seedlings showed a higher P uptake in warmer than
colder daytime environments. The observed quantities and
rates of P uptake from 33P-labelled hydroxylapatite by
spruce (18 Bq g−1 hour−1) and pine
(83 Bq g−1 hour−1; averages in chamber condition)
are as to our knowledge unique observations. Natural forest
soils in Sweden are often P-poor. Our research suggests that
apatite-based P fertilization of spruce and pine forests can
increase wood production by overcoming any existing P
limitation.},
